         5 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the tempered coating layer is disposed to surround all of the first surface, the second surface, and the third surface of the window,
 wherein, when imaginary surface that is parallel to a flat portion of the window is located to pass through the third surface of the window, the imaginary surface extends from the center of the electronic device to the outer side, and sequentially passes through the window, the tempered coating layer, and the housing.   
     
     
         6 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the tempered coating layer is disposed to surround both the second surface and the third surface of the window,
 wherein the electronic device further comprises a contamination preventing coating layer surrounding the first surface of the window, and   wherein, when imaginary surface that is parallel to a flat portion of the window is located to pass through the third surface of the window, the imaginary surface extends from the center of the electronic device to the outer side, and sequentially passes through the window, the tempered coating layer, and the housing.   
     
     
         7 . The electronic device of  claim 6 , wherein the contamination preventing coating layer is formed in the window before the tempered coating layer is formed. 
     
     
         8 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the tempered coating layer is disposed to surround both the first surface and the third surface of the window, and
 wherein the electronic device further comprises a contamination preventing coating layer stacked on the tempered coating layer surrounding the first surface.   
     
     
         9 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the tempered coating layer is disposed to surround all of the first surface, the second surface, and the third surface of the window, and
 wherein the electronic device further comprises a contamination preventing coating layer stacked on the tempered coating layer surrounding the first surface.   
     
     
         10 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the window comprises:
 a fourth surface formed by machining a corner defined by the first surface and the third surface; and   a fifth surface formed by machining a corner defined by the second surface and the third surface.   
     
     
         11 . The electronic device of  claim 10 , wherein the tempered coating layer is disposed to surround all of the first surface, the third surface, the fourth surface, and the fifth surface of the window. 
     
     
         12 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the window is formed of heat-treated tempered glass. 
     
     
         13 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the window has a curved portion at a corner portion thereof. 
     
     
         14 . A tempered window comprising:
 a window having a curved portion at an outer portion thereof; and   a tempered coating layer surrounding at least a portion of a surface of the window,   wherein the window comprises:   a first surface, to which a manipulation of a user is input;   a second surface that is opposite to the first surface; and   a third surface connecting the first surface and the second surface,   wherein the tempered coating layer is disposed to surround at least the third surface of the window.
